Anitha- Ok

Dinner begins

Sudha brings gulab jamun, idli, Sambhar, dosa,paniyaram, coconut chutney, vadai.

Arjun- Amma, what's the special . Why there are so many dishes in dinning table?

Poorva- I asked Sudha to make your these dishes because today you and Aaradhana got engaged.

Arjun- I see.

Arjun(in mind) - I saw Aaradhana in kitchen with Sudha akka. I am sure she cooked something. But what did she cook out of these dishes?

Poorva - Rani sit with us dear.

Aaradhana sits next to Arjun as only that seat is empty

Arjun gets shocked as she sits next to him

Anitha (in Arjun ear) - Though your wifey is sitting next to you, you cannot kiss her.She just sat next to you,See how you startled. Do you still think you can still finish your challenge?

Arjun ( in mind) I think I lost..

Sudha starts serving gulab jamun,idli, dosa, coconut chutney

Arjun gets disappointed as he couldn't guess what Aaradhana cooked.

Sudha serves Sambhar then.

Arjun smiles as after tasting the dish

Arjun (gets up from his place and shouts) - Sudha akka

Sudha ( gets panicked) - ehh....What Arjun Sir

Arjun - There is some magic in your hand. All the items are so good. Especially Sambhar . It's so tasty. I feel like kissing the hand that made Sambhar.

Arjun takes her hand

Anitha (in mind) - Is he mad? Why is he going to kiss Sudha akka?

Sudha gets startled.

Sudha - Sir... I didnt make Sambhar. Aaradhana madam only made Sambhar

Arjun - Is it?

Arjun goes to Aaradhana takes her hand and kiss her hand.

Everyone gets shocked.

Anitha ( in mind)- I didn't know that my brother is such a strategist.

Anitha smiles.

Karmegam fumes.

Poorva - Arjun, can't you wait for more two days

Arjun - Amma, you said not to speak to her. I told everyone that I'll kiss the person hand who made Sambhar. You saw I went to Sudha akka. But she said Aaradhana made it. So I kissed her hand. What's wrong in it

Poorva holds Arjun's ear

Poorva - Rani, sit next to me come. It's not safe for you to sit next to Arjun.

Arjun - Amma, why are you telling like this? I am a man of words so I kissed her, if you tell like these, she'll consider me as a flirt.

Anitha coughs

Anitha- Can you eat now.

Anitha( in Arjun's ear ) - I didn't know ,you are such a strategist.You know it already right that Aaradhana made Sambhar

Arjun- Yes I know. so what??

They start eating.

Aaradhana hear this while exchanging the seat with Anand and starts blushing

Poorva room

Poorva makes Aaradhana sit in her bed

Poorva - Dear I know I made a decision without your permission. Did you mistake me?

Aaradhana remains silent. Poorva notices that

Poorva - Sorry Rani. Now you are my responsibility. After what Kalpana told I understood She'll not remain silent. She'll start talking bad about you people. And now your engagement is also broken. It will be difficult to find another groom. So I made this decision out of a Mother's responsibility. You..

Aaradhana (interuppting her) - Athai you need not explain anything to me. I know that if you take any decision it would be correct.

Poorva- How come you didn't question me anything?. How could you trust me? blindly.How could..

Aaradhana - Because a mother will never ruin her daughter's life

Poorva gets teary eyes.

Poorva - So can you call me amma?

Aaradhana - no Athai I can't call you "amma"

Poorva getting shocked

Poorva- Why Rani? you said you consider me as mother but why are not calling me amma

Aaradhana - If I call someone as "Amma", it would be dangerous for their life. My birth mother died after giving me birth. My chinamma asked me to call her "Amma". I called her amma and she died in same day. I have only one mother now. If anything happens to you then..

Poorva hugs Aaradhana

Poorva - Nothing will happen to me dear? You can call me "Amma"

Aaradhana - No athai. I can't call you as "Amma"

Poorva - But my ears are yearning to hear word "Amma" from you

Aaradhana - Sorry athai for disappointing you

Poorva Thinks for a while

Poorva - You can call me "Athamma" then

Aaradhana - Athai but I couldn't get.

Poorva -" Athai + Amma =Athamma". So both our wish are fulfilled

Aaradhana hugs her

Aaradhana - Thank you, athamma. Now I feel that my world is complete

Arjun and Anitha who were listening all this behind the door gets tears in happiness

Night at 1 am

Aaradhana gets message from Karmegam to meet him at rooftop.

Karmegam shows the picture of her and loan shark to her

Karmegam - What will Arjun think if I show this to him?

Aaradhana remains silent

Karmegam - What ?got shocked right? I am sure he'll cancel this engagement and Poorva will kick you out.

Aaradhana (smiles) - Are you mad? Arjun will get angry on you on seeing this. You know something during college Arjun friend "Sandy" took a picture of me and another boy speaking and showed it to Arjun . You know what he did, he thrashed sandy telling , "I trust my friend". He believed me even when we were friends. Now I got engaged to him. Will he believe you? Use your lawyer brain and think of another plan. Now go from here.

( Karmegam starts leaving )

Arjun who didn't get sleep walk towards rooftop.

Karmegam sees Arjun coming to rooftop. Karmegam (in mind ) - See Aaradhana, what I am going to do.

Arjun didn't notice Karmegam.

Before Karmegam tells anything. Karmegam feels a hand hugging his back

Arjun comes there and pulls Anitha ear who was hugging Karmegam back.

Arjun- Hey monkey, hug your husband inside your room. You need not show off your love always.

Anitha- When you can shamelessly kiss your wife's hand in front of everyone why can't I hug my husband outside my room?

Saying this Anitha pulls Karmegam inside the room and locks the door

Arjun- You monkey...

Anitha(in room) - My tubelight brother, Its been 5 mins when I entered my room

Arjun smiles..

Arjun reaches Rooftop.

He sees Aaradhana

Aaradhana was looking at the moon

Aaradhana - Amma, appa, chinamma are you all fine? Today I heared many shocking things. Appa your sister Poorva, cancelled her son's engagement with Rupali as Rupali's mother questioned my character. Second thing is my engagement with Arjun. Poorva athai said this ring has the blessings of ancestors. Third thing is Poorva athai told me to call her as "Athamma". Intially,She asked me to call her as "Amma". But Chinamma you know right you died the day when I started calling you "Amma". I don't want to lose Poorva athai also. So she said to call her as "Athamma". I feel like I will get both mother's love and athai's love from Athamma . My marriage is going to happen in 2 days Everyone here are happy with my marriage. Are you people happy with this marriage?I miss you people a lot

Aaradhana starts crying. Arjun gets teary eyed.

Arjun(in mind) - Should I go and console her? Or should I stay here itself. What will she think if I go and hug her now. It's better to call amma

Arjun goes to Poorva room

Arjun(in teary eyes)- Amma, my Aaru is crying at rooftop. I don't know what she'll think if I hug her at this time. Can you come with me?

Poorva- What?

Poorva rushes to rooftop and hugs Aaradhana.

Poorva- Dear, cry how much ever you want to cry.

Aaradhana hugs her and cries

Aaradhana - Athamma, I miss amma, chinamma, appa a lot. I am getting married.But they are not with me.

Poorva sees Arjun crying on hearing Aaradhana words

Poorva signals him "No"

Poorva - Rani, who said your parents are not in your marriage. Dear remember one thing death is for body and not for soul. Your parents are with us even now dear. They will be happy on seeing you getting married.

Aaradhana gets normal as Poorva consoles her. Seeing Aaradhana getting normal Arjun gets relived and leaves from there.

Poorva takes Aaradhana to her room.

On the way to room, Poorva sees Arjun hiding

Arjun - Love you Amma

Poorva smiles

Arjun goes to his room and starts searching his family Album. He sees their family picture. that they took during Uma akka marriage. It has picture of Uma akka , her family, Aaradhana family and Arjun family.

Arjun ( on seeing it ) - Got it. But Sushma amma photo is missing. There is a chance that Sushma amma photo might be with Poorva amma. I'll go and ask her.

Arjun goes to Poorva room.

He tries to knock the door

Arjun- It's late. I'll ask her tomorrow.

Arjun opens window and sees Aaradhana holding Poorva hands telling " Amma . Don't go away from me "

Arjun gets teary eyed

Arjun- Aaru.You suffered many loses in your life. Wait for 2 more days. I'll give all of the happiness in the world to you .Though you have Poorva amma, Anand appa ,I promise you that I'll never let you feel your parents absence. I'll be a good mother to you when you need mother, I'll be a good father when you need a father love. I 'll be a good friend when you need a friend.Apart from that I'll be a good lover and good husband and will give you lots of love . It's my promise for you my wifey. Good night wifey..

Arjun goes from there . Poorva wakes up

Poorva - I know you are still loving her Arjun.You proved me that I didn't take a wrong decision.
